1. Every 7,500 miles or 12 months (normal driving): Change engine oil and replace the oil filter with Hyundai-approved products. Rotate tires front to back, adjust pressures—including the spare if equipped—and inspect for uneven wear. Complete a multi-point inspection that covers brakes, steering and suspension visuals, lights, wipers, and fluid levels. Check for open campaigns or recommended software updates.
2. Every 15,000 miles: Replace the cabin air filter to keep HVAC performance strong and interior air clean. Perform a detailed brake inspection—measuring pad thickness, evaluating rotor condition, and checking calipers and hoses. Test the battery and charging system, especially if you make frequent short trips. Evaluate alignment if you notice pull, off-center steering, or edge wear on tires.
3. Every 30,000 miles: Replace the engine air filter to protect performance and fuel economy. Inspect the cooling system—hoses, clamps, and coolant condition—and examine the drive belt for wear. Review transmission and AWD/4WD systems; service needs vary by model year and drivetrain, so ask our advisors for your Santa Fe’s specific guidance. Inspect suspension bushings, shocks/struts, and CV boots to catch wear before it causes noise or handling changes.
4. Every 60,000 miles: Replace spark plugs on many engines to maintain smooth idle, efficient combustion, and strong acceleration—intervals can vary by engine type, so confirm for your Santa Fe. Replace brake fluid to preserve pedal feel and protect internal brake system components. For AWD models, replace rear differential and transfer case fluids if applicable. Evaluate transmission fluid service or inspection per Hyundai guidance for your model year.
5. Every 90,000 miles: Service the cooling system—replace coolant per manufacturer guidance to help prevent overheating and corrosion. Inspect the water pump for signs of leakage or noise. Check the accessory drive belt and tensioner and replace if cracking, glazing, or noise is present. A thorough suspension and steering evaluation is also smart at this mileage to keep ride quality and stability at their best.
6. Annually regardless of miles: Perform an A/C performance check before peak driving demands and ensure cabin filtration is fresh. Clean and protect weather seals to help prevent wind noise. Confirm that your spare tire, jack, and roadside tools are present and in working order. Ask about available navigation or infotainment updates that can improve usability.
7. As needed and at every visit: Replace wiper blades when they streak or chatter. Address bulbs promptly for safety and inspection compliance. Plan for tire replacement when tread approaches 4/32 inch—or sooner if hydroplaning resistance or winter travel is a concern. Have any vibration, pull, fluid spot, or new noise diagnosed early to prevent larger repairs.

Your Santa Fe’s indicator lights, service minder, and connected services can also alert you when items are due. When in doubt, refer to your owner’s manual or speak with our advisors for a customized plan by model year, mileage, and driving style. We will document results at each visit so you always know what is due next and what can wait, helping you stay proactive and confident on every drive.
